Seems to be a few WO1's on the forum. Which one is acting as RSM I wonder.I remember when I was a young Sgt in Cyprus around 1956, we had the following WO1's in our mess : two ACC WO1 instructors (Middle East School of Cookery), WO1 (BOWO RAOC), WO1 (SSM Chief Clerk Bde HQ), WO1 (ASM REME LAD) and a WO1 (RMP).I felt so humble, but then I was only 22.

Ah, I always trusted a soldier, so you are the suspect Brum, plead guilty with an explanation then.

Hell Yes, when I think back I never had a bad RSM and only one SSM that was not up to much,excused boots and thought he was a shopkeeper. Looked silly in combats and shoes.Now iv'e remembered him I won't feel guilty if I pass him, Happy Days, if it hadn't been for Sec33.1.a of the Army act 1955 I might have done a bit better on that ladder!.

Drinks to celebrate my recent promotion are in the Ante Room. On offer are Bucks Fizz, Brandy Sour (hope General Shelldrake can source the neccessary Keo Brandy locally) and I am sure the Mess Manager can locate the odd crate of Amstel/Haake Beck/Herforder if asked nicely

bigmalRules for promotion to Captain were changed to 200 postings in June 2010 but promotion to Major quickly follows
